That Smashing Pumpkins 1979 vs Huskar Du shit is a bit much. I mean claiming that an 'E - E- E- A - A- A" bassline belongs to someone isn't fair. And the songs are compltely different with 1979 being the much, much better of the two.

one of the oasis dudes was whining that green day stole the arrangement of "wonderwall" for uh... "boulevard of broken dreams" or something. by arrangement, i guess he means structure? and uh.. well, i dunno if it's far-fetched to say that, structurally, most pop songs are very similiar. but okay...
